Simulating urban growth by two state modeling and connected network

Study Area

Bangalore is geographically located at the south-eastern part of India and capital of Karnataka state is considered as a study area along with a circular buffer of 10 km, (Fig. 1) with spatial extents from ­12°49′5″N to ­13°8′32″N latitude
and 77° 27 ′29″ E to ­77°47′2″E in longitude encompassing an area of 741 km2. Ten km buffer from the administrative boundary was considered (with a gross area of 2290 km2) to account for developments in the peri-urban regions. Popula-tion as per the census of Govt. of India has increased by 44% in a decade from 5.8 million in 2001 to 8.5 in 2011 at a rate of 4.4% annually, higher than the national average of 2.5%.
